Trump called for Iran’s ‘surrender’

Fears of a wider war are growing after President Trump called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” cited the possibility of killing its supreme leader and referred to Israel’s war efforts with the word “we” — all apparent suggestions that the U.S. could enter the conflict, as Israel has pressed it to do.

Iran has prepared missiles and other equipment for possible strikes on U.S. bases in the Middle East should the U.S. join Israel’s war effort, according to U.S. officials who have reviewed intelligence reports.

Trump wrote on his social media platform that “we know exactly where” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, “is hiding,” but added, “we are not going to take him out (kill!), at least for now.” He also boasted that “we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” associating himself with Israel’s strikes on Iran — even though U.S. forces do not appear to have been involved.

Here are the latest updates and maps showing recent strikes between Iran and Israel.

On the ground: Early this morning, sirens sounded in areas of Israel, and the Israeli military said it had detected Iranian missile launches. Around the same time, the Israeli military published an evacuation warning for an industrial area in Tehran, the Iranian capital.

Trump called for Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender’

Fears of a wider war grew after President Trump called yesterday for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and mentioned the possibility of killing the country’s supreme leader.

Iran has prepared missiles and other equipment for possible strikes on U.S. bases in the Middle East should the U.S. join Israel’s war effort, according to U.S. officials who have reviewed intelligence reports.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that “we know exactly where” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, “is hiding,” but added, “we are not going to take him out (kill!), at least for now.” He also boasted that “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” associating himself with Israel’s strikes on Iran even though U.S. forces do not appear to have been involved.

Trump’s immediate decision will be whether to deploy a more than 13,600-kilo bomb that would allow Israel to strike Iran’s deepest nuclear enrichment site. His public threats against Iran have revived a long-dormant debate among U.S. lawmakers about clawing back Congress’s power to declare war.
